Belenka's winter boots is a solid alternative to lems if you want Lems' classic boulder boot ground feel and flexibility, yet solid grip sole for the winter.
I actually have the outlander. the waterproofing is great, tread is great, and they look great. on trail, they're mostly ok. my problem is that on any sort of hard surfaces they're just too thick to not have arch support. in regular boulder boots, xero prios and winter boots, and in non barefoot jim green razorbacks and african rangers my feet are totally fine. In the outlander, I start to feel plantar fasciitis flare up after a few hours. I determined that if i'm going to have no arch support, there needs to be a pretty low stack height.
I got the boulder summit ones. Unfortunately mine started separating at the front of the soles in barely one season. For the price I was hoping it would last longer. My first pair where the original boulder and they lasted 2 years wearing them everyday before they separated a bit.
I always liked KEEN but I know alot of people don't like the soles because they dont have a 0 drop, but I love keen boots. Gives me that wide natural toe box but the protection for my soles.

The Boulder Summit is just the Boulder with the Outlander sole

I had a pair of Trailheads that did that. I was pissed too, my Boulders have lasted years. I love Lems but they need to figure this out
@ as of yesterday now I find there is a hole due to that

The woman's voice was the chef’s kiss in the video
no freet recommendation? Every shoe is a banger from them.
Lems all day
Waterproofing chemicals are insane btw. I avoid them at all costs.
What watch do you wear btw?
Orient Bambino, def a favorite. Mine is the cream face w blue hands
All the Lems waterproof boots will make your feet sweat in any temperature above freezing. You’ve been warned.
Do you know of any barefoot boots that have a steel toe? Would love to try something like this at work.
dont know if any companys sell them but you can do a custom set of jim green barefoots with a steel toe for an extra $35 + 2 mouth wait.
Carets just released one. They don't have my size yet, but the reviews are good
